Football Manager Handheld 2012 (Universal)

Football Manager Handheld™ 2012 is designed specifically for iOS devices and allows you to take control of the greatest job on earth wherever you are and whenever you want. You decide who plays and who sits on the bench, you're in total control of tactics and substitutions as you follow the match live. YOU make the difference!

This year, as well as a host of new features, there is a completely new way of playing Football Manager! The brand new Challenge Mode, allows you to play short-term scenarios, which place you in a certain managerial situation with a clear challenge to achieve your goal….

Challenges:
“The Saviour Cometh” – Your team are in a relegation battle half way through the season. Can you take the reins and guide them to safety?
“Injury Crisis” – Your team are swamped with injury problems leading to most of your first team players being on the treatment table. Can you keep the results coming in and avoid getting the sack?
“Unrest at Home” – Your appointment as manager has left some senior players unhappy. How will you handle the egos? Can you avoid being sacked before the end of the season by still achieving the board's ambitions?
“The Invincibles” – You’ve gone on a long run without losing. Can you cement your place in history by going the full season unbeaten?

(All of these challenges can be played using any club in the game except for “The Saviour Cometh”, which is playable with any club in a league with relegation.)

I'm pleased to indicate that the first update to the iOS game should be available on the store later tonight - details of what is in it are indicated below:

PS - iCloud integration is something I will look at some point in the future; however I can't promise when it'll arrive as first and foremost I want to fix any issues reported with existing features before adding in new bugs

Ever wanted to up your money? Now you can. Ever wanted to see your players' hidden attributes? Now you can.

A word from the makers:Dec: When Foss approached me with this file I couldn't believe it. I have found it was so helpful and made sure I supported him in getting this finished and thankfully it has. I hope you all enjoy this as much as me.

Foss: Well, finally after hard and not so hard work I can proudly say that the FMH Save Editor is available for public download and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did creating it.

What is this?
It is a save editor for iOS that gives you the ability to edit different things such as managers, players and clubs as well as see various hidden statistics in the game.

Just to keep people up to date - a new update for the game will be available this evening.

This will include the January database update and various other tweaks and improvements as shown below:

#3.3 - Update 3Fix Scottish loan rules
Show player names on 2d retina pitch more often
Rotating incremental save game
Drag and Drop tactics in match
Stop Man Utd players getting excited and asking for new contracts after winning Charity Shield
Tweaking of match simulation
Text Improvements
January Transfer Database integrated into the game (you get to select to use that or start of season when you begin a game)

Are there any good web resources to help me play the Android version? I've played through a bit but I feel a bit lost or at the very least I feel like I'm mainly just advancing to the next screen without actually having any influence over what is happening in the game.
